Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Chapter 107 Trading

As soon as Henia opened the door to his room, he saw Urudia posing by his window.

He had expected this, after all, Urudia had seemed a bit strange when he spoke with Gerald earlier.

"Mr. Henia doesn't seem surprised by my arrival."

Urudia smiled slightly, attempting to find another way to improve her relationship with Henia.

"Alright, Ultear, stop keeping me in suspense. Just say what you want to say. I happen to have some things I want to know about your Devil Heart."

Henia naturally stepped forward, pulled up a chair by the window, and sat down, meeting Urutia's gaze.

Upon hearing her true name and the name of the Demon Heart, Ultear's expression underwent a rapid change.

However, she quickly composed herself, regaining her serene and beautiful smile, and softly asked Henia, "Mr. Henia, what do you wish to learn from the Demon's Heart?"

She recalled President Hades's assessment of Henia, and the threat she perceived from her.

Urudia naturally changed his way of communicating with Henia.

"Magic, all kinds of lost and powerful magic, and most importantly, the magic to destroy gods."

Henia didn't beat around the bush with Ultear and directly stated his demand: the magic to destroy the gods.

He remembered clearly that the seven servants of purgatory within the heart of the demon each possessed a powerful lost magic.

In particular, Zankro is a user of the Fire Annihilation Magic.

"God-slaying magic?"

Ultear was taken aback by what she heard, but then she remembered the special dragon-slaying magic crystal that Henia had personally implanted into her body not long ago, and she had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Mr. Henia is actually interested in God-Slaying Magic? But if I may be so bold, God-Slaying Magic is not as powerful as its name suggests."

The relationship between God-Slaying Magic and gods is far less close than the relationship between Dragon-Slaying Magic and dragons.

"I know, but I have my own thoughts, and you don't need to know them."

Henia naturally knew that the God-Slaying Magic was not as powerful as its name suggested.

God-Slaying Magic is more like a kind of extermination magic that humans modified from Dragon-Slaying Magic, and it is similar in nature to Demon-Slaying Magic.

However, because gods are too ethereal and elusive, the magic to destroy gods is less practical than the magic to destroy dragons and demons.

In the original work, Zankro, who wields the Fire God Slayer Magic, demonstrates more of a suppression of Dragon Slayer Magic when fighting Natsu.

"That's certainly not a problem."

Urutia readily agreed, without the slightest intention of refusing or declining.

"Since Mr. Henia has made the request, does that mean he agrees to cooperate with our Demon Heart?"

"It's just a deal. If the Demon Heart is no longer useful, I won't hesitate to kick it aside."

Henia was completely unconcerned about the implied threat in Ultear's words. He was confident in his own strength and believed that taking on the Demon Heart alone would not be a problem.

"In that case, we will decide the details of the transaction."

Ultear nodded, pondered for a moment, and continued, "Our goal at Devil Heart is to awaken Zeref, eliminate all non-mages in the world, and then create a great magical world inhabited only by mages."

Therefore, the terms of the deal are that Mr. Henia needs to cooperate with us to complete a series of magical investigations related to awakening or resurrecting Zeref.

Just like the Tower of Paradise project that Gerald mentioned earlier, we at the Demon Heart have discovered many similar magical rituals and projects, but many of them are severely incomplete, so we will need Mr. Henia's help.

Henia did not agree immediately. After some thought and making some other demands, she reluctantly agreed to Urutia's trade request.

"The Tower of Paradise will take some time to complete. Fortunately, there is another related project recently—the Moon Magic of Karna Island. I will let you know in advance when it is completed."

Of course, Zancro will also show up then.

After fulfilling his promise, Urutia didn't linger. He bowed politely and left quickly.

Henia got up and went to the window, feeling the faint aura of time magic left by Ultear on it, her brows furrowing slightly.

"This little girl is a bit cunning; she deliberately suppressed her own time magic."

Even if there are still some faint remnants, they are not much different from what Henia had previously encountered.

He found it difficult to deduce the secrets of time magic from these residual traces.

"I'll just have to try again next time."

Henia sighed softly, but her expression didn't show much regret.

"Galna Island... let me think... is that the demon island where Deliora is hidden?"

A unique native demon, and Deliora, a demon from the Book of Zeref whose power was largely melted by Absolute Freeze.

And Uru and Urutia?

As for the Fire God Slayer Zancro, Henia didn't take him seriously.

It seems that he can gain a deeper understanding and trace the origins of the demon race in the Fairy Tail world on Galna Island.

Day two.

Juvia woke up from her sleep with a look of regret and disappointment. She was about to look for Henia to wander around Magnolia when Henia, who had come to find her first, told her that they were leaving Magnolia.

"Galna Island? What kind of place is that?"

"Hmm—a small island full of exotic charm, perfect for tourism."

Upon hearing the word "tourism," Juvia quickly filled in her mind with images, and soon, a puff of steam rose from her head as she covered her face and fidgeted on the spot.

After packing their luggage and checking out of their hotel room, Henia and Juvia returned to Fairy Tail and said a brief goodbye to the guild members.

At the same time, through this farewell, Henia also learned that Gerald had begun to work hard to clear his name.

This morning, all the major mage guilds received a message from the Magic Council canceling the warrant for Henia's arrest.

The notification also included an explanation of Henia's specific situation.

Henia's fate was so tragic that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard of it, and it dealt another heavy blow to the already damaged reputation of the Ghost Guild.

It's easy to foresee that Joseph, the leader of the Ghost Guild, must be jumping up and down in a panic right now.

When Natsu and Happy learned that Henia and Juvia were leaving Magnolia, they felt very sorry and reluctant, but they did not try to stop them.

Then, at that moment, Natsu also learned from his guildmates about another person who was suspected to be the Fire Dragon King Igneel.

Harujón, a port city in the south.

Thus, Natsu and Happy set a new goal and embarked on their respective journeys.

Henia watched Natsu's stiff back as he walked towards the train station and couldn't help but smile.

Harugeon? — Does that mean the story's plot is about to begin?

In this way, research into Protoss magic can officially begin.
